US Army Reservist Blanton struck by car, killed Friday
18th Annual Toy Run set for Saturday
Donald Eugene Blanton with his wife, Jyara and children Michael, 7, and Sarah, 2. “Go see Daddy,” 2-year-old Sarah Blanton told her mother, Jyara, Tuesday morning as the family of Donald Eugene ‘Gene’ Blanton, 25, prepared to make funeral arrangements. “We’re still in shock,” said Mrs. Blanton, who said she has told the children but they are too young to understand death. Michael is 7, Dawton is 4, and Sarah is 2. The Kings Mountain man was struck by a car and killed Friday at 8:01 p.m. while walking on Goforth Road, a short distance from his mother’s home. Jyara said her husband was upset that evening and took a walk to cool down. ‘’We don’t know why. His mama was trying to get him back in the car, he was walking on the side of the road.” Gene’s mother said her son had his head-
phones on and was looking down at his cell phone and neither saw the approaching car. A Kings Mountain native, Gene was in the US Army Reserves. He loved to fish, shoot pool, cut grass and fun wrestle with his kids when he wasn’t working. He grew up in the True Gospel Holiness Church. He met his wife on a blind date and apparently it was love at first sight. Two days later they were married. Both were 22 years old. They have been married 3 1/2 years. Trooper J. Prescott of the N.C. Highway Patrol investigated the death but said the report would not be available until Thursday. Mrs. Blanton said she was told that the driver has not been charged. A white wreath is on the door of 1300 W. Gold St. Extension in her husband’s memory.

County Social Services launch NC Fast system The Cleveland County Department of Social Services is in the process of launching a new way to provide services to Cleveland County residents. NC FAST, which stands for North Carolina Families Accessing Services through Technology, is a statewide, global case management system that will eventually be utilized in all 100 county DSS agencies. Its purpose is to provide new technological tools that will improve operations for the state and county DSS offices. This comprehensive case management system will replace 19 outdated legacy systems that have been in operation since the early 1980s. Whereas the old systems operated as information silos, the new NC FAST system will integrate information for all service programs, creating a global case management system. The new NC FAST system is being implemented in stages, with the Food and Nutrition Services being the first program activated. All local Food and Nutrition Services staff have completed the first wave of training and began serving new applicants using the new system Oct. 15. “The Food and Nutrition staff has done a great job to prepare for this new way of doing business. It is a big challenge, but we are ready and excited to launch this new system," said LeSandra Pearson. The vision is to provide a more effective service delivery system that will benefit both caseworkers and
clients. Once all implementation stages are complete, this system will be in operation for other programs as well, such as Medicaid, Work First Family Assistance, Child Welfare Services, Low Income Energy Assistance, Crisis Intervention Program, and Aging and Adult Services. “As you can see, the FNS department’s conversion is the first giant step towards a new system that will have a major impact on our agency’s business operations and service delivery systems.” As with any major improvement, there will be an extensive transition stage involving training for staff and conversion of old cases into the new system. “We will be a little slower initially, so we do ask everyone to be patient. However, the long term rewards will benefit everyone," said Pearson. For example, persons interested in applying for Food and Nutrition Services will soon be able to submit an electronic application online through a web site. Currently, people can access this web site to answer questions and receive feedback regarding potential eligibility. It is no longer necessary for people to visit the office in person. Anyone will be able to apply from any internet connection. We hope this will be a useful option for persons who don’t have transportation or who work during normal business hours. Once the ePass web site is in full production, clients will submit

Petting zoo initial cause of E.coli outbreak ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
The petting zoo at the Cleveland County Fair is the initial cause of an E.coli outbreak in late September that resulted in 106 illnesses and one death, according to state public health officials at Friday afternoon's press conference at the Cleveland County Health Department. They said weather was also a factor that played a role in widespread contamination of the area surrounding the petting zoo exhibit. Heavy rains during the run of the fair, from Sept. 29 through Oct. 8, resulted in runoff that may have spread contamination from the petting zoo to nearby areas. Public health investigators said a study conducted after the outbreak showed that people who visited the petting zoo were more likely to have gotten sick–especially those who fed the animals. Carl Williams, North Carolina's state public health veterinarian, said rain spread soil to areas away from the petting zoo, widening the bacteria's impact. Evelyn Foust, branch chief of the NC Division of Public Health, said a committee is being established to study ways to prevent an outbreak in the future.
Foust, Williams and Jennifer MacFarquhar all pointed to two types of E.coli bacteria found in Cleveland County Fair victims spread from fecal material to human mouths. The assumption is that when the victims picked up the bacteria by touching the animals they ingested the bacteria when they ate food at the fair. "Our goal is to prevent something like this happening again, Foust said. Fair Manager Calvin Hastings said there will be no animal exhibits at the fair until the study has been concluded and any possible policy changes put in place. "Hopefully we can continue with animal exhibits," he said. But that will depend on the results of the study. The Cleveland County investigation, which began Oct. 8, included a case control study of who became ill as well as an additional 160 individuals who attended the fair but did not become ill. Local health department personnel in Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba, Rutherford and Union counties conducted 266 extensive interviews in the weeks following the outbreak. In addition to the case control study, analysis by the State Laboratory of Public Health and U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed two specific strains of E.coli in
cases from the outbreak that were matched to environmental samples taken from the fairgrounds. Foust said Cleveland County Fair officials have cooperated fully in the investigation and as of Oct. 19 announced that all public events at the fairgrounds would be closed pending the completion of the public heath investigation. "An investigation of this size and scope requires a team effort and our local health departments have done outstanding work," she added. Cases of E.coli began appearing one day after the fair ended on Oct. 7. One victim, 2year-old Gage Lefevers, died from the disease. Another 11 people were hospitalized. A 5-year-old victim, Hannah Roberts, was readmitted to Carolinas Medical Center last Thursday night two weeks after being released from the hospital. She went home the next day. Family members say some of the girl's symptoms reappeared. MacFarquhar said 62 percent of the victims were under the age of 18 . "I'm a parent,'' Foust said. "My heart goes out to everyone affected by this." State Health Director Laura Gerald said in a news release, ''Our goal in this and any other public health investigation is not to as-
sign blame, but to identify how to prevent this kind of event from happening again." Despite stringent protocols at agricultural fairs (and there are 45 petting zoos at fairs in North Carolina) transmission of E.coli is still possible. As a result of recommendations following the public health investigation of an E.coli outbreak at the N.C. State Fair in 2004, the NC General Assembly enacted Aedin's Law, which outlines specific measures governing animal contact exhibits at agricultural fairs to protect public health and safety. Those measures, monitored by the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, include fencing and staffing around exhibits, education to inform the public of health and safety issues, and adequate hand washing facilities. Vigilant hand washing after animal exposure is an effective method to reduce transmission of illness. "We look forward to working with local and state partners as well as fair officials to identify recommendations to reduce the risk of exposure to future fairgoers," said Gerald. ''No doubt this was a serious outbreak," said Foust, saying that recommendation will be made by a study commission as rapidly as possible. "We can't do this over night," she replied to a question.

Open Heart Ministries dedicates new church
■ MEDITATION Only Jesus can calm the storm In Mark 6:47-51 there is a story that is comforting Dr. Jeff Hensley to me. Pastor It is a Kings Mountain story Baptist Church that begins with a storm. The term has sometimes been translated “adverse wind,” or in the Old Testament it has been known as “chaos.” The storm is a crushing, irresistible force that seems as if it is going to sweep over the lonely disciples. Such storms are many in our lives. They appear through a medical diagnosis, a broken relationship, a financial hardship, and in countless other forms, but they always bring anxiety and fear. The text also says two other things. First, it tells us the disciples “strained” against the wind. They were attempting to make it on their own, but they couldn’t because the wind and
the waves seemed to be winning. Perhaps it is in their nature to be too strong for us to control, and this is made even more significant by the second thing we are told: that He was not there – that Jesus was not with them. He was not far away, but as he walked on the water, he appeared to them as if he was a ghost. The amazing thing is that they did not call out for him in the midst of their need. They just looked up and there he was, but they didn’t recognize him. It is as if time seems to stand still in the story, for Jesus is there with them, but nothing happens… at least not until he speaks. Everything depends on his word, and that is as true today as it was long ago. All he says is: “It is I.” He doesn’t need to say his name, for they know it. This didn’t think to summon him, but they know him when he says, “It is I.” Jesus’ declaration of his presence through that one, small utterance is the unmistakable solution to the storm. The disciples didn’t fully realize it then,
but Jesus was God in their midst – the Creator of heaven and earth with skin on – and the storm was no threat to him, so it was no threat to his followers. This is why Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid… take heart.” The disciples had lost heart. They were bewildered, anxious and afraid, and all of us know times like that in our own lives. In verse 50 the disciples were with Jesus, but the storm didn’t end until verse 51. Why is that? A careful reading of the passage seems to suggest that the reason is because Jesus expected something from the disciples. In that little space between verses 50 and 51 Jesus was giving them an invitation and they had to respond. It was as if he was saying, “Yes, there is a storm. But I am here. Listen to me. Look at me.” It was an invitation to faith – an invitation God gives to all of us – and only when we accept the invitation does Jesus climb into the boat so that the storm ceases.
Open Heart Ministries will dedicate their new house of worship Sunday morning at 10 a.m. at 306 N. Piedmont Ave., across from the old Kings Mountain Depot. “We are so excited,” said Pastor Shane Reese, who said a group of 56 worshipers have been meeting for 10 months as a Bible study group. Mike Heath rented the group of buildings on the corner of N. Piedmont to the church for future expansion. Rev. Robert Eng, pastor of New Life Worship Center, will lead the dedication service to which the public is invited. Associate Pastors Stan Brucker and Craig Pittman and ministers Jim and Sue Thurman and Bill and Millie Mayes will also assist in the program along with worship leader, Tonya Parker; women’s leader Dee Reese; and men’s leader Craig Pittman. Reese served for 11 years on the staff of Faith Ablaze in Kings Mountain and was senior pastor at Restoring Hope in Chester, SC. Son of Jack and Dee Reese of Belmont, he graduated from East Gaston High School and Grace Covenant School of Min-
istry in Cornelius. He is employed by U Haul Service Center. He is married to Tracy McAllister Reese and they have three chilShane Reese dren: Christian, 13; Caleb, 11; and Jeremy, 19 months. Reese said the church is targeting areas where people are in need and are partnering with local pharmacists to help seniors with prescription needs. “We preach and teach about God’s Glory and we give all the Praise to God,” said the pastor. He said that God changed his life as he worked with Faith Ablaze and was called to the ministry. “See what God can do,” he said, inviting visitors. Family training is held at the church on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.

Town and Country Garden Club members present at Thursday’s 60th anniversary celebration are pictured at the Patrick House. Seated, L-R, Cheryl Butler, president; Dot Dixon and Susan Gibson. Standing, Brenda Sipe, Jewel Kendrick, Glenda Crawford, Arlene Barrett, Lou Ballew, Punkin Higginbotham, Connie Bell, Wendy Isbell, Ann Ward and Sarah Rhea.
Garden Club celebrates 60th anniversary “To increase our knowledge of and our love for growing beautiful and useful things and to aid in the protection of native trees, plants, and birds� was the pledge that Town and Country Garden Club members made 60 years ago when the club was organized Dec. 11, 1952. Club President Cheryl Butler said the club has expanded its service to the community. She welcomed Town and Country Garden members, and guests from the Open Gate Garden Club and Magnolia Garden Club to the 60th anniversary party Thursday night at the Patrick Center. Scrapbooks from 19521960 on display and prepared by Brenda Sipe were a conversation piece as guests returned “on memory lane� to view pictures and also clippings about garden clubbers, many of them who have died but left recollections and pictures of garden club activity in the city. Putting the scrapbooks together was a labor of love for Sipe, who said that in preparing the scrapbooks she learned much about life in Kings Mountain 60 years ago and recalled that the five other garden clubs in town took turns every month to give the program at the newly organized Town and Country club which met at the home of Mrs. J. G. Darracott to organize with Mrs. W. M. Moorhead as temporary president. The new officers 60 years ago were Mrs. Jacob Mauney, president; Mrs. W. T. Weir, vice-president; Mrs. Robert Miller, secretary; and Mrs. Charles G. Dilling, treasurer. The charter members were Mrs. J. H. Arthur, Mrs. W. E. Blakely, Mrs. W. Don Blan-
ton, Mrs. H. L. Campbell, Mrs. J. G. Darracott, Mrs. Fred E. Finger, Sr., Mrs. Manley Fuller, Mrs. E. W. Griffin, Sr., Helen Hay, Mrs. N F. McGill Sr., Mrs. Jacob Mauney, Mrs. Robert Miller, Mrs. W. M. Moorhead, Mrs. O. W. Myers, Mrs. Baxter Payseur, Mrs. Charles Thomasson, Mrs. Bruce Thorburn, Mrs. S. S. Weir Jr., and Mrs. W. T. Weir. Mrs. Charles G. Dilling joined the club in February 1953, bringing the membership to 20. In October 1953 Mrs. I. G. Patterson became a member when Mrs. Manley Fuller moved away. The name of the club was suggested by Mrs. O. W. Myers and annual dues were $2. Members of other garden clubs in town aided in starting the organization and provided speakers from the five other clubs. Mrs. Halbert Webb of the House and Garden Club was guest speaker at the organizational meeting and floral arrangements were furnished by her club. Mrs. W. L. Pressly helped the club to become federated with the Garden Club of N. C. in May 1953 and penned a thank you card to the club congratulating them on “one of the loveliest meetings I have ever attended�. The scrapbooks included pictures and listings of club awards and participation of the club in community beautification, which the club continues today.
The late Mrs. George Moss, writing the history of the club, said that although the membership changed through the years “there has always existed a close bond of friendship among the members.� Club President Butler agrees that remains true today. Participation in downtown beautification, the Woman’s Club fall festival, and Cleveland County Fair exhibits, among other things, keeps garden club members busy. Officers welcomed guests at the Patrick Center where luminarias lighted the walk-

Baker speaks at Rotary Dr. Bryan Baker, a Kings Mountain dentist, was the speaker at last Thursday’s Rotary Club, held in the Patrick Senior Center. Dr. Baker had a PowerPoint presentation of his climb up Mount Kilimanjaro with fellow Rotarians, to benefit polio victims. Dr. Baker shared many funny experiences, as well as some very touching ones. On the climb, they met Joseph, who was Jimmy Carter’s guide in the 1980s. President Carter had sent Joseph an autographed copy of one of his books, which the Rotarians gave him. The climbers were also able to meet polio victims who had been helped by various Rotary clubs. The program was very inspiring, and Rotary members now wonder when the next trip will be planned.

Every youngster and adult likes trains. Model trains in a model railroad display start running Saturday at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum.
Three holiday-season events are planned on Saturday in Kings Mountain. “Breakfast with Santa� will start off the day’s activities at 7:30 a.m. at the Woman’s Club, East Mountain Street. A full breakfast plus heaping servings of reindeer-shaped pancakes will be served for donations of $5 for adults and $3 for children. Santa’s helper will be on hand, too, and pictures with Santa are available from 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Always a treat for the children is the Elf’s Closet where children can shop for Christmas presents for one dollar items.
Two blocks away on Piedmont Avenue, Mauney Memorial Library and Gaston Dance Theatre volunteers will read the holiday classic, “Nutcracker�, from 11-11:45 a.m. at Jacob S. Mauney Memorial Library. Dancers from Gaston Dance Theatre who will be performing in the 2012 production of The Nutcracker will be in costume to meet the children. Take your camera! A drawing for a pair of tickets to the performance will be held at this event, said Mauney Librarian Sharon Stack.
The annual model train display will be up and running Saturday along with the exhibit, “Toys, Games and Trains� at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum on E. Mountain Street, about a half block from the Woman’s Club. The popular exhibit features a model railroad display by the Piedmont “S� Gaugers, along with antique toys and games. The exhibit runs through Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013. Museum hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 p.m. Admission is free.
Fall celebrated at Crowders Mountain festival BETH BROCK beth.kmherald@gmail.com
Saturday was a perfect day to participate in the outdoor activities at Crowders Mountain State Park. Lowe’s Home improvement provided a kids clinic to make airplanes, fire trucks, and other wooden toys. There was a scavenger hunt going on throughout the day, as well as a craft work shop where children could design various crafts of their choice. Volunteers from the S.A.L.T., Seeking and Learning Truth homeschoolers, were on hand to assist the children as needed. Mark Lowe prepared and served food and drinks, with the proceeds going to Friends of Crowders Mountain, Inc. Diane Nielsen, a master level volunteer with the Carolina Raptor Center, was at the festival with “DC� a broad winged hawk, and “Emma� a barn owl. Both raptors were rescued on the roadside, victims of automo-

bile injuries. Neither can be released because they are unable to fly, due to their injured wings. Diane explained that many of the raptors get hit when going after litter that has been thrown out of vehicles. It was interesting to learn about the Raptor Center, and amazing to discover that it
has a small paid staff, but over 300 volunteers. The food bill at the Raptor Center runs three to four thousand dollars a month, and the food is paid, in part, by donations. More information about Carolina Raptor Center can be found at: w w w. c a r o l i n a r a p t o r center.org.

The pain and the loss these families feel today remain fresh.� “This service is about healing and remembrance,� he added. “ Patriots Park is today much more than a place - it’s an inspiration.� Medlin presented an inspiring “Toast to the Flag� before leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Mallora sang “The National Anthem� and also “God Bless America.� Special music was by the Loch Norman Pipe Band. The KMPD Honor Guard, under the direction of Sgt. Bob Myers, posted and retired the colors. Small and large American flags decorated Patriots Park. Murphrey and Medlin placed a memorial wreath in front of the wall. “The Mountain men raised the cry for freedom in the Revolutionary War Bat-

They all shared a common bond of freedom.� Murphrey added, “This is a special day for Kings Mountain as we honor our local heroes, our special Patriots who did not hesitate when duty called. These 10 men knew the risks but they believed in duty and honor and placed their lives on the line. We will always remember their personal sacrifices. Freedom does not come without a price. They are a shining example for all Americans.� Medlin said that local

Vietnam veterans started talking about a Vietnam memorial four years ago and were considering a plaque to be put up possibly at city hall with the names of the 10 heroes. A committee composed of USAF Staff Sgt. E5 Medlin, Sgt. USMC Boyce Tesnair; US Army S/Sgt. E6 Steve Brown; and US Army E5 Sgt. Carl Morrow talked with the mayor and the city’s special events coordinator, Ellis Noell. At the city’s request AIA Architect Ken Pflieger designed the memorial and city council unanimously authorized the expenditures for the addition, now a focus of the park where city festivals are held. The Marine Corp League from NC Foothills Detachment 1164 fired a 21-gun salute and bugler Paul Fulton played “Taps�, a fitting benediction to the ceremony. After the ceremony, crowds lined up to move by the wall to pay tribute to the 10 heroes from Kings Mountain who gave their lives in battle in the Vietnam War between 1965 and the fall of Saigon in 1975.

Grover Elementary staff, students honor local veterans BETH BROCK beth.kmherald@gmail.com
To honor local veterans, Grover Elementary School held a Veterans Day program Friday morning. Over 50 local veterans from each division of the US military attended the event. Gene Putnam, 90, was the oldest veteran, representing WW II. J.C. Bridges, GES Principal Janet Anthony’s father, is also a veteran of WW II. Veterans from every war since WW II attended the event. The program opened with the National Anthem, sung by all, and was followed with a color presentation of each military division’s flag, as well as a P.O.W. flag. The Grover Songbirds (staff members of Grover Elementary) sang a moving medley of all the military hymns as the flags were presented. When the P.O.W. flag was presented, the audience was asked to join in singing the first verse of “Amazing Grace.” Teresa Neil gave the program, after which several classes sang, and quoted poems to the veterans. Paul Fulton played “Taps” at the end of the presentation. As the veterans lined up at the door of the gym, the students passed by and gave the veterans small American flags and handmade cards. Many of the students also shook the veterans’ hands, and thanked them for their service to our country. The veterans and their spouses were treated to a delicious breakfast following the program, prepared and served by Grover Elementary staff.

Menjay - “Missions are the heart beat of the church” “Missions are the heart beat of a church,’’ Dr. Olu Q. Menjay of Liberia told members of First Baptist Church Wednesday night. Menjay, President of Liberia Missionary Baptist Convention, took the occasion to thank the local church which supports Rick’s Institute with prayer and partnership with financial assistance and recently sent a team of teachers to the facility. “The story of my life and Rick’s is a story of interruptions, some good and some bad,’’ said Menjay who said that God worked in mysterious ways in his life and the school for K-12 students. The campus facilities were severely looted and vandalized as a result of the brutal Liberian Civil War, which started on Christmas Eve 1989. The campus served as a battleground. Since 2007-2008 Rick’s restarted both the boarding school and he day school with students from nearby villages attracting students from all over Liberia and beyond. The school reopened its elementary boys dormitory in 2010 and will be renovating and opening its elementary girls dormitory . Menjay recalled periods in his own life beginning as a young man ready to graduate
from high school when civil war broke out and he was separated from his family for several years, threatened with death and miraculously saved through intervention from God working through others which resulted in his survival. He came to the U. S. in January 1991 with no coat and no luggage and went to school in the States, graduating from Mercer University and Duke University and served as a pastor in Fairview, NC for a time before God called him back to Liberia to teach at a seminary and then to Rick’s Institute which he first saw as “a absolutely deplorable condition.” Menjay said.He has been principal at Rick’s for seven years. “You can make a difference wherever you are,’’ he told the congregation. He said 65% of the population in Liberia are school age kids. “We invest in hope,’’ he added, “and right now we need a tractor and a gymtorium for these kids.’’ he said responding to a question of needs. He said an agriculture program is in the works. Civil War ended in Liberia in 2005. “This is a peaceful place with a Democratic elected government,’’ he replied to questions.

Kings Mountainʼs Monique Petty makes a strong inside move for the basket in Mondays scrimmage with East Rutherord at Parker Gym. KM opens regular season play at home Tuesday against Shelby.
Kings Mountain High opens its 2012-13 basketball season Tuesday at home against the Shelby Golden Lions. The teams are involved in scrimmages this week as they try to settle on a starting lineup. The Mountaineers scrimmaged East Rutherford Monday and will travel to Highland Tech today at 4:30. The annual Mountaineer Madness, which includes intra-squad scrimmages and fun activities for fans, will be held Friday at 7 p.m. at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. Both teams are trying to improve their won-lost records this year and make a strong run for state 3A playoff berths. The Mountaineers are coming off a 5-17 overall record and the girls hope to improve last year's 3-19 mark. Both teams are young. The Mountaineers have only two seniors - Wil Sellers and Phillip Quinn - and four-year starter Eboni Morrison is the only senior on the girls team. Grayson Pierce returns as head coach of the Mountaineers after serving last season as interim head coach. Mike Harris takes over as head coach of the Lady Mountaineers after serving as an assistant to Amos Myles, who resigned after the 2011-12 school year to take an assistant football position in Sumter, SC. Pierce lost his top two scorers in seniors Caleb Hines and Trevon Byers, but 6-4 junior James Tillman, who averaged a double-double in points and rebounds last season, returns and will be a force inside. The Lady Mountaineers return their leading scorer and rebounder, Monique Petty. Coach Harris also welcomes the return of many other young players whose baptism under fire last season should result in more wins this year. The KM ladies also welcome junior transfer Alisha Wade, who started at Burns last year. The Kings Mountain teams will play seven non-conference games before beginning Big South 3A Conference play December 14 at home against South Point. All regular season games begin at 4 p.m. with a girls JV game, followed by JV boys, varsity girls and varsity boys.

Support the Troops
Bell-ringing to benefit Crisis Ministry
The staff at Hospice Cleveland County recently joined with the State Employees Credit Union (SECU) to help collect items for their annual “Support the Troops” project. Boxes were places throughout the Administration Building the entire month of October with a Wish List of items attached from SECU. Letters to the troops from Jefferson Elementary School’s First Grade were also included thanking the troops for protecting our safety and freedoms. Rachel Hill, Director of Supportive Services for Cleveland County Hospice, shows some of the items collected for troops.
